It has been a long time since Northwestern has been this enjoyable to watch.

In Tyler Shough's defense, most QBs do decline after age 40.

I grew up a huge Elliott Sadler fan. Tonight's truck race is the first time I have gotten to bet a race he is in. My lone bet on him is the partial fill I got on his "No Top 10" price. Seven-year-old Jim is disappointed in me.

I've always had a soft spot for Field of Dreams because my mom is from Iowa. Byron Buxton is my favorite athlete of all time. It bums me the eff out that he's not playing tonight.

Have Austin Hill +75000 to win today. Went to check cashout options. Cashout offer implies his win odds are 0.8%. I've got him 1.0% post-qualifying. Wouldn't have taken it, anyway, but glad not to have the "It's +EV!!!" demon in my head.

My wife and I close on our first house tomorrow. Shoutout to Daniel Suarez and Mother Nature for chipping in on the down payment.

Average 1st round QB since 2010: 22.3 years old 32.5 games w/ 10-plus pass attempts 81.1 QBR Ty Simpson: 23.3 years old 16 games 76.0 QBR The average *successful* first-rounder has been 22.1 years old with 35.4 games and a QBR of 82.2.

1st round QBs since 2010 with less than 25 games with 10-plus pass attempts who were at least 22.5 years old: - Mac Jones - Mitchell Trubisky - Carson Wentz - Ryan Tannehill - Ty Simpson (23.3, 16 games) Simpson's 16 games are the fewest of that group, and he is older than all but Tannehill.

Todd McShay caught a lotta flack for getting briefly duped on Arvell Reese at No. 2. But I bet Jeremiyah Love to go 3rd because of him, so shoutout Todd.

Full rooting interests for me tonight. If Jeremiyah Love goes 3, we celebrate. If Gennings Dunker goes R1, I eat Culver's for a week straight.

Biggest thing I've learned from past NFL drafts: Don't bet against draft-day steam. That's when *actual* information leaks. If someone's odds shorten significantly, it's good to resist the temptation to "buy low" on someone else.

Forecast this weekend for NASCAR in Kansas has highs in the 50s/60s. As someone who has sweat profusely/gotten rained on at every NASCAR race I've been to the past decade, I am in heaven.

Geno Smith chucking bombs to Garrett Wilson and AD Mitchell is at least fun. More bad teams should try to be fun!

Very cool to see my boy @gdula.bsky.social writing for the football newsletter run by my other boy @lateroundqb.bsky.social. So many boys. So much good #content. mailchi.mp/lateround/co...
And just like that, the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine has come and gone.

But those results? They're forever etched into the spreadsheets for all eternity.

This year, we saw some record-breaking performances, and we saw plenty of calculated opt-ins and opt-outs.

What does it all mean? Off the heels of last week's deep dive into which NFL Combine measurables really matter, let's take a look at some of the biggest takeaways from the weekend while keeping in mind that NFL Combine data is only one piece of the puzzle for incoming NFL prospects.

Connor Zilisch is running as fast as the leaders while in heavy traffic. He can still be a factor for the win.

I know people get annoyed about the fuel saving, but: That race banged. Cars were hard to handle. Tons of action. Tons of contenders at the front. I loved it.

If the leaders are going to run half throttle, and I am in the back of the pack I am: - Getting a group of five drivers - Pitting now - Packing it full of fuel - Going 100% throttle to put pressure on them

With the full NFL combine list out, it's official: Only one QB in this class ranks above the 80th percentile of my pre-draft model. And that guy is going 1st overall. Data matches the narrative on this class.

I have been running my NFL spread model since 2022. In that time, the closest spread it has had for a game is 0.0191 points. It has Rams-Seahawks Pt. III at 0.0188. Means I'm betting the Rams, but gol dang, this game bangs on paper.

As an unbiased viewer*, that was 100% a catch by Kayshon Boutte. *minus my +390 anytime TD and 70-plus yards at +509 tickets
